Kregel Book Tours Presents: Unholy Hunger (Book 1, Lure of the Serpent) by Heather James

Unholy Hunger: A Novel (Lure of the Serpent #1) by Heather James

Evelyn Barrett wants to die. As long as her daughter's murderer dies
with her, she is ready to go. Why did this man--this stranger--destroy
her family? Why has he not been brought to justice? Why is she forced to
live a life of anger and grief? Amid a million questions she cannot
answer, Evelyn knows one thing for sure: this murderer must be punished
for his crime.

Before it all, she was a successful attorney who won all the hard
cases. Now that the case is personal, Evelyn will stop at nothing to
seek her own version of justice. When another girl goes missing, Evelyn
plows forward, ignoring the warnings from police detectives, the pleas
of her grief-stricken husband, and the strange, almost supernatural
tingles that tug at her. But as she follows the stench of evil, Evelyn
learns that the hardest thing she will have to face may not be the death
of her child after all. Perhaps the harder lesson is this: the ultimate
truth--of crime and verdict, of life and death--cannot be swayed by a
mother's revenge.

In this first book of a new, page-turning series, a woman will be
brought to her limits before she finally recognizes the movement of the
Holy Spirit and reconnects with the source of true peace.
